We're looking at the controlling principles of simplicity outlined by Richard Foster in his book Celebration of Discipline each Wednesday here on the blog ... and guess what number five is {drumroll, please!}: Learn to enjoy things without owning them. Yep, it's true ... Netflix has become a key in my move toward simplicity. And, I didn't even realize it until I started working on this post. Perhaps you are wondering what the relationship is between our Netflix subscription and my ... [Read More]
A MOD Squad Mom reviews a MOB Society Book!
A woman of prayer. Powerful, effective, fervent prayer. A righteous woman, grounded in the Word of God ... generating a legacy and heritage of faithfulness not to church or religion but to the Word-Made-Flesh. That's my desire.

And with that desire, comes a hunger for knowledge, for inspiration, for encouragement, for challenge ... from others who have trod the path or are currently near me on ... [Read More]
My Valentine

And the painful process continues
Seriously, y'all ... this simplicity thing is killin' me. I'm on week four of examining Richard Foster's controlling principles of simplicity and this week booted me all the way back to week one. You remember week one, right? The post where I explained why I don't have a MacBook and confessed my love of gadgetry. Well, guess what principle number four is: Refuse to be propagandized by the custodians of modern gadgetry. Ummm, ouch. I love gadgets. Sitting on my desk as I type are the ... [Read More]
